I'm really worried about my mom. She's had these enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes for two years now. There are no signs of TB like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, and she's been managing her diabetes pretty well. There was nothing in the lymph nodes when tested for CBNAAT. The ultrasound showed they're quite large, and the biopsy results indicated granulomatous lymphadenitis. The document says TB needs to be ruled out, and the AFB stain came back negative. They also mentioned something about doing a TBPCR test to make sure it's not tuberculosis. The microscopic findings talked about some kind of granulomas but no caseous necrosis was found. TB PCR didn't show any sign of MTB or non-TB mycobacteria. I'm quite confused and worried about what all this means. Is this something serious? What should we do next?

View allI'm a bit worried about my lymph nodes. About five months ago, a CT scan showed my lymph node was 16mm, and I had another scan today showing it's down to 8mm. I'm seeing Dr. Ujjwal Parikh at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, and I'm feeling better, but I'd love to get some extra advice to be sure everything's okay. What do you think about these changes, and should I be concerned about anything?

My grandmother was just diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm really worried. Can you explain the treatment options for someone her age? If she needs surgery, how urgent is it and what's the typical timeline for that?
It's completely understandable that you're worried after your grandmother's diagnosis. Treatment for breast cancer in older women is individualized and depends on several factors, including the stage and type of cancer, her overall health, and her preferences. Common treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapies.
